Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz lean ground turkey raw
  • 1 large Zucchini
  • 1 habanero or other hot pepper
  • 3-4 Curly Kale Leaves
  • Kosher Salt
  • 2 Wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese Spread Garden Vegetable
  • Sprinkle of Chili Powder

Instructions
 

  • Cut the zucchini in half. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out the flesh of the zucchini as close to the skin as possible while still keeping the halves integrity to hold the stuffing.
    1 large Zucchini
  • Chop the zucchini flesh.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground turkey with the zucchini.

  • Chop the kale and add it as well.
    3-4 Curly Kale Leaves
  • Cook everything down allowing all the flavors to merge.
  • Toss the warm turkey and vegetable mixture with the 2 wedges of Laughing Cow and stir until well combined. The cheese will melt making a yummy, gooey sauce.

  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • I'm not sure Laughing Cow still makes the Garden Vegetable, if you can't find it, the herb would be good or even just plain old cream cheese. 
  • I did use a habanero but if you aren't a hear person just skip!
